a) Distinguish between active and passive sensors in terms of energy source with the aid of suitable
diagrams.
b) A rotameter uses a cylindrical float of 3.5 cm height, 3.5 cm diameter and density of 3900 kg/m³.
If the maximum inside diameter of the metering tube is 5 cm, calculate the maximum flow rate
handling capacity (m/s) of the rotameter if the discharge coefficient is 0.6 and the fluid is water.
c) A pitot tube is used to measure the velocity of water in a pipe as showed in the Figure Q1(c).
Assuming the flow encountered pressure losses due to frictional effects and obstruction, calculate
the flow rate of the fluid.
